Hi all. I'm in the home stretch for graduation. Slowly but surely, the final portfolio is taking shape. I've got six completed pieces, which is just under the halfway mark, and several more in the works. I have a shoot scheduled with my uncle for a corporate portrait as well.

Shutterbug... I realized as I hit the publish button on that last one that the reason I used to be such a poet is that I used to focus on writing as a means to express myself. Back when I thought I was a songwriter. I was in a lot more pain back then, too. Now, things are all-in-all going pretty well, and now all that creative energy is being poured into my photography. The same heart is there, just in a different form.

I put my gallery show up at school monday. As Will Turner put it so aptly in Pirates of the Caribbean: a craftsman is always pleased to hear his work is appreciated.

So this week I have portfolio work due friday, my resume's second draft due tomorrow, a real-world job due ASAP for Mom & Chuck (photos for a retail map of downtown Troy), and the DVD slideshow for the girls volleyball team. Their banquet is Sunday night, and they expect it done by then. I've got the Freshman and Varsity teams' segments completed. Now just the Junior Varsity, and then to figure out how in the hell to make it into a DVD. Stayed up until 3am last night, and I skipped school today to try to catch up on all the work.
Speaking of, I just got back from the Neon Movies in Dayton, the spot for not-quite-mainstream movies. The local American Heart Association had a little shindig there with the major contributors and a DVD slideshow featuring the photos taken at the event I shot along with several other students. I took photos of the guests, and stayed after it ended and treated myself to a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat beer and a ticket for the movie "The Darjeeling Limited", starring Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson, and Jason Schwartzman. What a fantastic movie. If you live near an art theatre, I highly recommend it. Laughed my butt off through the whole movie.
There's a regular at the drive through who's a dead ringer for Adrien Brody, plus ten years. Never really thought about it until watching the movie tonight, and I thought "Damn, he looks just like that regular guy!" He's from Poland. Doesn't smile much, but he's not unfriendly. Asked him how to say "Good morning" and he told me, but I forget.
